Neo Equestria
Forgotten
Previous ChapterI sparked to life. Shaking my head, I shook head furiously, trying to get the dust on it off. Infront of me was the man from the show, Bairei, but with bandaids covering his face and swollen eyes, was holding holding his index finger over his mouth, signaling me to be quiet. I nodded once, and looked down at the ground, pretending to be deactivated. Bairei backed up, and looked to his left, towards a hall. The interior reminded me of a big hangar, and I could hear the sound of the sea, making me worry. Then I heard the sound of my owner. Samuwarati. Clenching my fists, I thought of what he had said, feeling the same feeling in my chest as I did back at the stage. Hearing Bairei gasp and take a step back, Saruwatari spoke up.
"What are you doing here?", Saruwatari asked him, walking up to me and examining me. "You have already destroyed years of work, and you're fired. Get out of here before I sue you aswell." He warned, and I could hear Bairei walk away.
"You were going to be perfect... More powerful than everything that I've created together.", Saruwatari said, sighing deeply. Out from the dark appeared a couple of machines, and stood by Saruwataris' sides.
"What shall we do with him, Superior?", One asked.
"Get it's pod and recharging bay, all weapons that it tried, and any computer that he was wired up to. Everything that had to do with it, dump it into the pod with it and throw it into the sea," Hearing that, I tried to resist, but only managed move the stand I was stuck in, and slowly but surely began to make my way to the ground. As gravity failed me, I hit the ground face first, making Saruwatari jump in surprise. Chuckling to himself, he looked at his mechas.
"Get it done," He said before walking off.
The robots looked at him before nodding and saluting, grabbing me by my arms and dragging me to my pod. I remember waking up in it first, when I got first activated. The pod was decent size, with a recharge bay, and a weapon rack. It was standard issue, and given to all mechas that went out for field battle. The problem was, the pod was attached to the mecha that lived in it, that meaning, if one went rogue, or got killed, it all had to be destroyed with them. It had limited Neorai Industries from making more advanced mechas, but for some reason, they had refused to produce the mecha's without them.
The two mechas removed me from the stand and threw me into my pod, and walked off to get my weapons. Attempting to get up, I was forced to fall limp as they got back with the weapons filled in a duffle bag. They threw it in, and closed the door to my pod. I brought myself to my feet, and tinted the windows to my pod, rubbing my faceplate.
"What the fuck happened to me?..", I asked outloud to noone in particular, shaking my head. I had clearly become self aware by that file, but how? That Bairei had to be a genious to do that. Mechas were not even built to be self aware! How did Bairei and a couple of his friends just make it possible for me to think and feel like a human?
My thoughts were interupted by a awful noice. I disabled the tint and hid behind a locker, peeking out through a window. I was twenty feet above the air. A pair of magnets had stuck ontop of my pod, and was relocating me. I moved away from my cover. Noone would see or care if I was activated now, would they? I could only watch as the helicopter began to fly out towards the sea. The hangar I was in flew further and further away from the hangar, and soon enough I couldn't see it. The helicopter began to hover, and I looked up at the roof of my pod, tilting my head.
"So, are you going to do someth-" I got interupted as the magnets released it's grip of my pod, and I began to fall, feeling myself falling. My pod took the majority of the beating as I hit the water, but I could see that my HUD slightly flickered, which meant it had to be pretty hard. As I sank lower and lower to the oceans bottom, I slowly got myself up standing. The Pod wasn't leaking, surprisingly. Panicking, I looked around me, gripping my head as I yelled at as loud as I can, feeling something unnatural inside of me.. It was uncomfortable. Slowly calming myself down, I looked out the window and rested my head against the glass, the sharp feeling in my chest still aching.
About an good thirty minutes later.
After finally calming down, I had watched my descent and scanned fishes swimming by the window, making my chuckle.
Out of the darkness, I saw the bottom closing in, and I widened my eyes.
"Holy.. Shit.." I whispered, as I witnessed the massive graveyard.They hadn't just dropped me at a random spot. Old robots that rested here here. Old Japanese clothes, chests, skeletons.. I saw some of the earliest IL models simply dumped at the bottom. When I began to close in to hitting the bottom, I noticed that I was closing in on a ship wreck that surely was a good thousand years old. Shit. I was hitting it.
I grabbed a sturdy hold of a nearby locker, and embrased myself for impact.
As I hit it, debris flew around me and the pod penetrated the rotten wood with ease. Falling forward, I fell face first into the floor, shaking my head. As the pod hit the ground, I got up. Looking outside the windows, I realized my pod was inside the ship. It was filled with jewelries and ancient items I never even knew existed before. As I leaned forward onto the window, my pod began to roll slide towards the artifacts. I saw jewelry get pushed out of the way until it stopped infront of a black necklace, that had the resemblance of a unicorn with wings. It had red gems on its' wings, eyes and horn, and glowing. Wait, what?.. It was glowing... And increasingly so.
Backing up slightly, I thought it was some old gunpowder or something that was going to hit the glass and drown me. A red aurora began to surround the pod, I could hear the pod creaking in missery.
